The following letter is from gentle
man who lives near the Mexican circus:
Editor LIGHT:
You would undoubtedly confer great
favor to many citizens across the San
Pedro, In urgently calling attention OF
the present city administration OF the
many colored and Mexican, low gam
bling houses, especially at and near
Zinsmeyer's corner. ls IL not great
shame that the officers allow such
crowds Of loafers, negroes and disrepu-
table drunken women TO use vulgar Ian
guage on the streets and TO OBJ
struct the street corners. i have just
located at the west eide OF TINS
city, but will be compelled to move
away again, II such nuisance Is kept up.
There live across the San Pedro as
many and good citizens 10 all particu-
lars, as in any other part OF this town,
but there ls no other ward 10 town
where such low down elements are toll
Grated, and why should the west side
make an exception, and can't the city
administration compel a nuisance to be
abated. which Is growing daily worse!
Does the mayor keep his police force
only to parade the streets In order TO
show their gold and silver shining

THE SOLEMN SEASON.
What of ColIop Monday, Shrove Tue
day and of Ash Wednesday

What of ColIop Monday, Shrove Tues
day and of Ash Wednesday
The Calendar for the week presents
three historic days, COllOp Monday,
Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday.
COllop Monday is so called from the
ancient custom OF eating collops of sailed
meat and egg and may really be regard
ed as preparatory for fasting period
ShrOve Tuesday, is the day on which,
according to the ancient Catholic church,
men were Shrived or Shroven, |. O., con-
fessed and obtained absolutiOD of their
sins. 1t is also known as Pancake day,
from the custom of eating pancakes
made of wheaton flour and eggs. In
some old colleges there was considerable
revelry on this day, getting all the fun
in before Lent. Throwing the pancake.
burytng 1.-THE holly boy and Ivy GIRL"
barring out the school master, throwing
at the cock with broom sticks, the trib-
ute cOck-penny and shroviDg parties
will be remembered by old citizens
either by their experience or Legendary
history.
Ash Wednesday, that occurs today, is
the commencement OF a solemn season
of Lent, concentrating the forty days
fast Of Christ. Lent is literally cor
ruption of the Anglo-Saxon "lengten-
tide" The day is named from the prac-
tice Of priests, who burned consecrated
palm leaves, and used the ashes in max
ing the sign Of the cross on .penitents.
saying at the same time, "Remember
thou art dust and ashes and to dust and
ashes thou shalt return"
In the old times pleasure was mixed
with the sOIemnity. The puppet, Jack
a-Lent. WAS set up, clacking boys came
round for gifts, and If you did not yield
to their demand, they plastered up your
key. holes. Even the king had an Oftic r
called Cock Grower" whose duty it
was TO crow like q cock in announcing
the hours of the night. no doubt in sllu-
sion to the cock that CrOwed at st.
Peters betrayal. In Germany, on this
day, the boys washed the girls; in other
words. they took them IN a cart and
drove them into a river or pond in such
Il way as TO give them a considerab le
wetting. There is much fun in it,,
though the character of the fun may be
questionable especially for the girls.

then a policeman was called and for the

Arsenal, on Arsenal street, in the form
OF banana tree, which is now budding
and will in a few days bring forth the

the year for bananas to fruit, but Capt.
Shardein explains the phenomenon by
saying the tree was unrOoted last fall

under the residence. There it remained
all winter and in that position put forth
it's buds. When a day or so ago It was

dler, KrOnsky, some months ago, near
Davenport, pleaded guilty to the charge
this morning and a jury, empanneled to
hear the case, returned verdict of gull
ty and assessed the punishment at 30
years in the penitentiary. The bungling
way In which the verdict was rendered,
which had to be corrected by the dis
trict attorney and the vote OF the jury
polled, caused the defense to move for a
new trial, which was granted, and the
district attorney moved TO ovcrrule the
verdict of the jury and take new trial,
beginning this afternoon at 3 O'Clock.
Several motions in civil cases were
heard by the judge.

on the front seat of the baggage wagon

A BIG HAUL.

A Nest of Thieves Broken Up and Large
Lot of Property Recovered.
A police whistle blew on West Com
merce street today at IL O'Clock, at
little restaurant near the Wash
ington saloon and Officers Bal
lou and Stevens rushing there,
found Manuel Corona calling
for them Justify. He said he had caught
his wife and a man, Gensro Gomez, in
flagrante delictu. The officers, on enter
ing, saw lot OF dressed calf skins, the
same as had been stolen from
II. Killing, recently and they
guessed that they had stumbled upon
the thieves and arrested the two men
and the women, and took them and the
calf-skins to the bat cave. The men then
gave the whole thing away, and
told where the balance of the calf
skins could be found, and the officers,
consisting OF Captain Hughes, Van AL
styne and Brown, went to the house in
dictated, corner Buena Vista and East
streets, at little restaurant
that has long been rendezvous
for crooks, and sure enough found the
remaining calf skins and about an ex-
press wagon load OF silverware and
clothing that the officers have been on
the lookout for, for several
months and which were identical with
the stuff stolen from the house OF one
Nina Gordon, a cyprian living on Con-
cho or MstamorOs streets and
which were stolen from her
house while she was In Austin.
They arrested Esperidion Cruz, Jesusa
Castillo, SOstenes Reyna, Margarita
Garcia, and jailed them, making the en-
tire gang Of seven now in Jail charged
with robbery and theft. All the goods
stolen have not been recovered, but Il is
estimated that over $500 worth have
been recovered.
